Sibley would have fluffed it anyway

It’s not good for bird 

I thought that after asking one out and she said yes.

[DerbyRam!]

How was that not a foul on Baldock?? He even waited literally it was so obvious

[DavesaRam]

At least  the ref gave us 3 free kicks early on. What more could we want?

[Ramarena]

After a slow start Birmingham have worked us out and are shutting us down really well.

[Chester40]

Close to unravelling now. 

Fine..draw them in but only to spring the trap and create space, not doggedly totally regardless of how hemmed in you are... Crazy. 

[Barney1991]

Same as last season where are the goals coming from. 
im really not liking the shinnie and bird partnership I haven’t for months it just doesn’t work. 
 

jozwiak is a massive miss and I hate sibley on the wing he’s as effective as my Nan on a bungee jump 

[Steve Buckley’s Dog]

Why is Byrne marking Juke? (Can’t spell his name). It defies logic and belief. 

[Ellafella]

We need more from Lawrence. Game passing him by.

[Silko]

Who’s  playing up front for us ?

Buchanan only had to look up, He failed, Football is a pretty simple game when you're aware of your surroundings.

Make no mistake Buchanan needs to do better there but in the first instance he does the right thing, he ignores Davies and steps inside to create a yard. The issue is there wasn't anybody looking for the ball and then he makes the mistake going back at that point.

For all those not wanting us to pass out from the back, should we lump it long to 5'8" Baldock instead. We need to play better, not differently.

Not sure how he fouls Morrison late 4 times then the ref talks to both of them

This new approach is a grapplers charter

The ref didn’t give a free kick yet the reply says it all.

Give Morrison a break he played for jamaica about 2 days ago…

So why play him then? Jozwiak played two days ago and isn’t even in the squad. Now I know you will say we haven’t got anyone else.

[Simmo’s left foot]

I particularly like it when they fanny about with sideways passes until it gets to the half way line, then pass it back to keeper who can the roll it out and start again.

Everyone keeps talking about Sibleys potential and I have high hopes for the lad myself, but bloomin hell, he’s done nothing; three touches, all poor. He may feel he’s being muscled by these Birmingham defenders but, yes, that’s going to happen week-in-week-out in the Championship. 

He goes down far to easily looking for the decision off the ref, he needs to get rid of that part of his play.

[brady1993]

As an aside there seems to be a lot lot more niggly fouls being let go this season.

The ref is giving Morrison no protection and are hacking him to bits.

The fouls in themselves might be innocuous, but they know all our good play starts with Morrison. These routine fouls stop any chance of us creating anything.

It's because,as us often the case,world class players like Rooney,forget that most players are not able to play like that.....he has to adapt to what we actually have in the squad and play to our strengths.

Can you remind me what they are?
